Age Appropriate Chores

Monday, October 12th, 2009

chores
Since about the time we could toddle Mom began assigning us chores, and due to Mom’s early expectations and delegation talents we grew up with an expectation that we always would have jobs to complete and responsibilities to manage.

If your homeschooled children are still quite young and you are looking ahead for how to begin this whole process, you might find this list helpful with age appropriate chores for preschoolers all the way up through the teens. While not an exhaustive list, it gives a helpful starting place.

Or if your family has likewise been engaged in work since your children were little you might instead have some further helpful suggestions for new families starting out, just post them below!

The Duggar Family

Monday, October 5th, 2009

footprints
A recent interview with homeschoolers Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar discussing such topics as: will they have more children, what they will name the new baby, how they respond to critics and much more.

I appreciated the flavor of this article in which, while the Duggars love their many children, they are quick to acknowledge that they are not a perfect family and also to say that God’s will for other families may or may not include many children.

Although we have been raise to love and embrace the biblical perspective that children are a blessing from God, it is refreshing to read of this family who although they have so many of these wonderful blessings not promoting their children but rather God.
